Install the Brosix App in a Corporate Environment

Brosix Network Install – for teams or groups with Brosix on a network share and all users start it from there.

Brosix Advanced Setup

The default Brosix Setup installs Brosix in Windows user’s home folder. This is done to allow installation for users that have no administrator rights on their Windows devices.

However, in a corporate environment it is common practice for several users to share a Windows device.

For example Windows in Citrix, Windows via Remote Desktop Connection or Windows Terminal Services. In these cases it is preferable to install Brosix in one common place where all the Windows users can access it. This is achieved with Brosix Advanced Setup.

Brosix Advanced Setup runs in administrator mode on the Windows device, and installs Brosix in “Program Files”. During the installation you have the option to change the installation folder.

Windows user accounts can have limited access rights. They will still be able to use the common Brosix installation, but will not be able to update this installation when a new Brosix version available. To allow automatic updates, Brosix Advanced Setup installs a special service that will update Brosix when a new version is available, even if all users have limited access rights.

This eliminates the need for system administration for Brosix in a corporate environment.

Brosix Network Install

Brosix Network Setup is intended for teams or groups, that place Brosix on a network share, and all users activate it from there. Each user configuration and all data will be stored on their local computer.

The network share should have “Read-Only” visibility in the network.

This makes it simple for the system administrator to update the Brosix corporate messenger software when a new version is available, and keeps all user data secure.
